Isnt that like suggesting that Sony needs to cut the price of the PS4 before launch because the Wii U has a huge price advantage over them?
I know most will comment back that the PS4 offers more, but when comparing the X1 to PS4 the X1 offers more in the box as well.
I am not sure how anyone can claim one needs a price cut but the other one doesn't.


Sony has superior tech for a similar price to the Wii U. They need to drop the Wii U's price to $299 and quick. Wii U poses no threat to the coming consoles. Nintendo cannot explain to the average consumer the disparity in graphics and power between the coming next gen consoles and the Wii U.


MS has superior tech int he box to PS4. Same difference dude. Also WIi U is being dropped to 299.99 so that puts the price difference the same between all 3. Suggesting one needs a price drop but not the other seems silly.

First point is true though we dont know how much

Second point is completely opinion with nothing to base it one

Third point doesnt even make sense. What disparity are you talking about? There are no PS4 or X1 games released at this point to even back up that claim

I will just dismiss you as bias and unable to look at things fairly. You obviously hate them and cant be asked to judge them with an open mind

Actually, no. The PS4 is the most powerful console on the market, Microsoft is scrambling to catch up to have some sort of parity. This is why the PS4 reveal was such a surprise and MS did not show off the Xbox until May.

What I am saying has a point, you just do not want to see it because you are biased. If you think someone sees a price tag on the Wii U and looks at a PS4 and thinks Wii U is even in its league, I am sorry, but you're living in a dream world, my friend.

Per the BOLD: For the core gamers, you are 100% correct.  The problem is that the core isn't the big part of the market, they are your first 6-12 months buyers.  The second tier group "regular gamers - COD/Battlefield/Halo" they probably will buy what their friends are buying and will know the difference in between the consoles, but will decide based on their $$$ and the media sway.  The last group are the "pure casuals", they buy what they think their kids want based on what the media tells them - the most popular.  Seeing as how about half of the consoles sold fall into the last group, Sony hasn't won anything yet.  Look at the wii, that's proof in itself that the public is easily swayed, and you never really know what they will fall for.


The 360 won the battle of word of mouth in the beginning, Sony closed the tie by filling replacing words with games. The PS4 will have word of mouth in the beginning now and it will have higher rated launch games, mark my words.

I don't diagree with you completely.  I just disagree with how you get there.  The first 6 months for sure, both the PS4/XBO will sell through either way.  So, the word of mouth thing is kind of irrelevent at first.  Unless Sony outproduces M$ by an extremely large margin, that train of thought will be useless.  The problem for M$ will come after that with their pricing.  Unless they bundle the unit with some free content, it will be hard to overcome the $100 price differential.
